I did an OOPS.

Thanks for answering but that is certainly not my area of expertise...at all.

I know that, I just shared my experience.

I checked the battery, it's right at the front on the left, I squirted the juice, about 7 drops, on the right. I checked to see if the battery was dry and I removed the DVD drive, both were dry...I really thought they would be. I cannot see any other way of accessing inside. I've shut it off and noticed on the start up screen that the right side has faded. I'll have a look tomorrow night. Is there any way I can look under the keyboard keys for dampness? Oh, I'm on my old laptop now...and thanks hon.xx PS, your emails are coming back from the yahoo acct. I've sent you some pearlers from last Sunday and they are coming back "Undeliverable".

That's what the fellas are saying too Gabs. I will have to wait and see. Luckily I have a spare.

That's probably the best bet. Just shut it down and wait for a while.

Yes, royal, it is. It's still dark. I'm trying to work the function keys with no luck. There are buttons and icons on the machine and I have no idea what they are...for all I know I have inadvertently touched something to make the screen go dull. How a few drops of lemon juice could do that I have no idea. Luckily I have a back up.

I don't know many people who could help. I might try my daughter and grandson though...thanks.

Hi Suzzy, it's not looking good. I'm thinking some must have landed on and got into the works through the key board. It was thick juice from a very juicy lemon, so it was really sticky.

It happened at lunch time which was about 11 hours ago. I work on my laptop on the dining room table, where I eat my meals. I was having fish and chips for lunch and I squirted lemon juice on the food and of course, some went in the wrong direction onto my laptop screen. I'm lucky enough to have a backup laptop.

Yeah, I got fish pieces (the big pieces of fish tend to be tasteless and ordinary). It was very nice with salt and fresh lemon juice.

Never a bad time for s tiff drink if you are in shock and trauma! Fish and chips - sheesh. I'm on my way.

Cripes, that's a bit exxy slick. I reckon they know how badly addicted we are to the net and general computer use so they charge like wounded bulls. I'm using my old laptop now. I had it in for a service and repair twice a while back...They charged me $20 then $70 and I'm finding the problems are still there. I'm going to save up for a new laptop. I should be good to go in a few years...lol

I don't think they can Zandi. I'd rather not spend more money on this as it is second hand. I will instead save for a new laptop.

Yes, scarlet, an lcd screen. It was just the screen that got wet with several drops of juice which I wiped off straight away then I used a damp soft cloth to clean the whole screen. I was using it for a little while then I had a nap and eventually posted this discussion. I'm using a spare laptop now. It seems to be going ok. Both laptops are second hand and fairly old. I think I'll save for a brand new one before I spend any more money on these two.

It didn't go completely dark thank goodness, just a little as if it was on low power. It's still resting, I'll check it later...fingers crossed.

Hi cutie,. I hope it's okay too. I have a back up luckily. I work on the dining table and have my meals and coffee here too. Banjo loves to share this space as well sometimes so it is all a recipe for disaster, I have to count myself lucky that I haven't done anything till now. Thanks for popping in.
